I'm a little surprised that the best Chinese food I've had so far in this area isn't in Grand Forks, but in Grafton, ND. Lee's Chinese isn't pretty, but it's delicious. The menu is diverse, the food is relatively fast (depending on the crowd), and the prices are good! My favorites so far are: * Ko Po Gai Ding (I think that's it - I'll get back to you) - a very spicy dish with chicken, peanuts, veggies, mushrooms, etc. * Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls - anything but healthy but so tasty and crispy I almost forgive this place for its shameful lack of crab rangoon/cream cheese wontons. * Special Rice - a mix of all of their fried rices (though I haven't looked too carefully at what each of these are... definitely pork, egg...) If you can forgive the location - tucked in behind a tire store - and its complete lack of ambiance - like a dingy (but clean) elementary-school cafeteria with a few bamboo plants thrown in for color - then you should swing through Grafton for Lee's Chinese! (Oh yeah, don't stop by on Mondays... they're closed.)

Subway. Same everywhere, not the best subs or hoagy, but Subway. This was a nice new place with tables. The sandwich you get here is the same as the one you'll get in Orlando. You go here knowing what to expect.

Was in Grafton for a few days and there is nothing for food choices. I took a chance and stopped at Granny's. I must say I'm astonished there are three drink sizes, the first being about 4oz for $1.99 and it goes up from there. I ordered the medium so I got about 6oz. When my pizza finally arrived, very slow pace here, it was like a chef-boy-r-d pizza and it was $14.00...just goes to show when there is nothing else around you can really screw not only the local but visitors as well...go to the Pizza Hut instead.

Locals told us this was the best Grafton had to offer., which isn't much. I had the steak special, marinated in whiskey. It tasted weirdly sweet, off taste and highly tenderized to mush. I ordered it medium rare and got it well done. Complaint to waitress resulted " I am sorry" and nothing else. So I filled up on the pretty good french fries, crumbled and toasted crisp garlic bread, the potato salad from the salad bar and mediocre salad bar featuring lots of iceberg lettuce, okay but not the best green leaf lettuce. After we finished, the waitress returned with an offer of another streak, but a little too late as now I was full, I had the worst whiskey sour ever, must have been less than a thimble full of whiskey in it and of all things maybe made with Sprite? Yuck! My wife had the walleye which was good, but not broiled as she ordered, but deep fried. The place was old, and musty and not really too clean.
